Good to see Argentina is heading on the right track.

Listening to Lemmy you'd think some guy with years of formal education in economics knows nothing about the economy.

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Argentina was once one of the richest countries in the world.

There are four kinds of countries: developed, underdeveloped, Japan, and Argentina.

You can't compare inflation in Argentina and America.

It's like being hot and being on fire.

That guy definitely does better on the one night stands.

But the real mistake "nice guys" make is they are too picky and choose the "right one" then focus on her. The real trick is if a girl isn't interested in you immediately lose interest and find someone else. If you are properly in the friendzone 9/10 that girl will then be pissed off with you because even though she didn't want, you someone else did.

There is being friends with a hot girl but then there is being passed over because you aren't a dick.

Luckily it wasn't me but I heard some girl say "I think your hot but you're just too nice"

Like what the fuck haha. I know they didn't want a relationship either and she fucked someone else like a day later. Talked to others and asked why they passed over some boy for another and it's not attraction it's that they aren't dickheads.

It's a hill I'll die on some girls definitely need that.

A lot of people that want to travel can't handle the hard stuff. It seems more about how you deal with that than how you deal with the good stuff.

Same with careers. Lot of people chase the good stuff then realise all the bad shit makes it terrible. I also noticed a few women who really want to be high in their career to stick it to the man. They either really sexist people or they find out that no one actually cares and that all the guys that have made it to the top worked really hard and put a lot of hours in. Suddenly they realise that what they will have to do too and they completely lose interest.

Being a house wife has a lot of perks and limited downsides, if you don't mind the downsides it's really really appealing.

Lack of cultural integration, homophobia, sexism, racism, religion, lack of local training and development, lack of capital investment, high housing costs, poor housing quality, wage suppression, increasing density of the country, crime, making places less desirable and more crime ridden.

But no one ever wants to talk about anything that isn't short term averages.

I haven't got an issue with immigration as a concept or necessarily as an average.

But there is a reason no one complains about first, second, third generation Australians coming to their country not learning the language, not integrating, committing crimes and no treating women right. A lot of people on the left live in outright denial about immigration.

Sure keep the upper class happy by keeping wages down and house prices high. Only costs you money, safety and community.

Immigration is lost in the short term averages at the least. It needs breaking down and calculating out over lifetimes.

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

But that still doesn't excuse anybody flushing the rule of law down the toilet.

Did i say it did?

People obviously care note about immigration than that. That's how high of a priority it is I guess.

I guess this just goes to show what everyone is saying.

The left is shooting themselves in the foot. People care about immigration and the left won't solve it. So they lose power, that's democracy in action.

If the left want wants they need to listen to the concerns of the people.

I'd be interested in an internet that is harder to access just to out a barrier to entry.

But the only one I know is TOR. Do they have any discussions on there or is it just crime?

God I hope so.

Hope it's like the smartphone

"Who wants one of them?"

"omg my iphone is amazing"

"I couldn't do anything without my smartphone"

 

"The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024, following a rapid decline over the last 12 years which has seen power sector emissions plummet by three quarters."

"This report provides an overview of the UK coal power phase-out, looking at changes in electricity generation since 2012 when coal began to rapidly decline. It provides context on how phase-out was achieved through a mix of initiatives and policy frameworks, and considers how this can inform the next chapter of UK power sector decarbonisation."

"Coal power provided almost 40% of UK generation in 2012, shrinking to 2% by 2019, and finally falling to zero by October 2024. In 2012, coal generated 143 TWh of electricity, equivalent to Sweden’s total power demand in 2023."

 

"the Alphabet-owned company has been allowed to deploy an unlimited number of robotaxis for paid driverless rides in the city [San Francisco] at all hours. In March, state regulators allowed the company to expand its commercial ride-hailing to 22 Peninsula cities.

Now, Waymo officials are declaring victory after a year of commercial driverless service without any serious incidents and say it gives them confidence to speed up their robotaxi expansion.

David Margines, Waymo’s director of product management, said in an interview that the company’s one-year track record in San Francisco “is a validation” that its robotaxis can “drive safely” and “coexist in the communities that we want to operate in.”

“Looking back over the year, I’m thrilled to say that it’s been a big success,” he said."

 

"Waymo regularly takes its autonomous vehicles on winter road trips to test the cars in snowy environments. In 2017, it was Michigan.

This year, Waymo will hit multiple wintry locales, including Truckee, California; Upstate New York; and Michigan, from the Upper Peninsula to the metro Detroit area"

 

Seen this on reddit and thought it was an interesting question that largely is not talked about.

It is largely an issue that gets sidelined and hidden because people don't want to talk about it or accept that it exists. Hopefully this gets some traction to break that marginalisation.

 

The government has announced the immediate lifting of the de facto ban on onshore wind development in England, among other actions to speed up planning decisions.

The move, announced by chancellor Rachel Reeves in her first major speech since taking office, has been made as it sets a commitment to double the capacity of onshore wind in Britain by 2030 and boost energy independence.

"In January 2024, Figure signed its first commercial agreement with BMW to deploy its humanoid robot in the German carmaker’s production facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Now, the California-based robotics firm has released a video showcasing its 01 humanoid robot executing its first job by participating in the vehicle assembly process."
